Does anyone recognize these two Spireas?

5 years ago

I need to prune my Spireas, but I don't know what kind of Spirea they are. Most Spirea get trimmed in late winter, but we have forgotten to do that since we planted them. I have two different kinds. One is an upright Spirea and the other is the drooping kind of Spirea.


The one below has tiny white flowers and stands about 4 ft tall. It is about 4 years old. The limbs stand up instead of droop. I know it is not a Baby's Breath Spirea. The leaves are small and serrated. I took the pictures in December so the leaves look yellow-orange.




The picture below is the drooping kind of Spirea with very light pink flowers. The leaves are serrated, but they are not the same size or color. They are more rounded. They are also very tall. They were supposed to be no taller than 5-6 ft. Some of the branches have grown taller than my 10 ft tall Crape Myrtles so they either need moved or cut back.




Does anyone recognize these Spireas?


Thanks,
